Document Title
Bel Marin Keys Unit V Expansion of the Hamilton Wetland Restoration Project
Document Type
NOP - Notice of Preparation of a Draft EIR
Received
Present Land Use
Wetland Restoration
Document Description
The project area historically supported subtidal bay, tidal wetland, and possibly freshwater marsh habitat but levees constructed during the 19th century separated the area from the tidal influence of San Pablo Bay and drained the site. The area has remained in agricultural use for the last century and it currently supports hay production. The site has subsided to a subtidal elevation. Approximately 90 percent of the tidal wetlands that existed around the San Francisco Bay in 1800 have been destroyed by diking or filling for purposes of agriculture, development, or salt production.
